[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MCPS parent here. We have a Halloween party, vday, and end of year.  Gifts our given by the family if they want
they want.

Party is a mini cupcake on a paper towel with a bottle of water. Activity is playing games.

I think the mini cupcakes are $4.99/12.  We need 3 boxes that $15.  Say $10 for the water which will leave some left over for the next party.

I’m in a W district, not the room parent, and think this is fine.[/quote]

Our MCPS school doesn't always have paper towels or even soap... As a W district, maybe you can share your supplies with some of our schools.  One year, they didn't even have enough toilet paper.

You sound really stingy for being financially comfortable in your rich W school.[/quote]

My BCC district ES PtA gives thousands each years to Focus schools PTAs.  I’m sure many of the W schools do as well.  You don’t need to be obnoxious.  The PP described a party that is much closer to what my kids have for their classroom parties than a pizza for all bash.  Doesn’t make anyone stingy.  [/quote]

It does make you stingy if you can spend $100 to go out to eat and not donate $5 or less (given carrots, plates, fruit can be less than $5) to a party a few times a year.  PTA has nothing to do with room parties.  I don't know any other PTA's that give to focus schools.  And, even then, those PTA's are not spending it on the actual classrooms.  It is obnoxious to be so selfish.  Having pizza at a party is not that expensive.  You only need a few pizzas and usually if you do sign up genius one parent ends up donating it.  I don't know why you think these parties, even if they have nice food are that costly.  But, probably because you've never done one or even attended.  Some of us can do a lot with very little.[/quote]
